The banks were among the guarantor lenders under a contract for the construction of a gas processing plant in Russia with Germany's Linde, which was terminated due to Western sanctions.

Three weeks after one of Brazil’s worst-ever floods hit its southernmost state, killing 155 people and forcing 540,000 from their homes, experts have warned that water levels will take at least another two weeks to drop.

The death toll across Rio Grande do Sul is still increasing daily, and more than 77,000 displaced people remain in public shelters, prompting the state government to announce plans to build four temporary “tent cities” to accommodate them.

How so? If you mean the tag, see comment.

Edit: Uhu.. because the title makes it sound like the start of a kind of an old sailor bar joke. In retrospect, the title does sounds weird.

Marked NSFW because of controversial and highly sensitive topic worldwide . If unnecessary, I'll remove the tag.

I don't know, I don't have that much confidence about them forming a proper coalition.

They've been saying stuff like this for half a year, and it's been like the muppetshow. No offence for muppets btw.

And still whistleblowers are being sentenced, jailed, prosecuted by Gvements ( and sometimes killed)

I get the security thing, but war crimes and industrial crimes should be measured on another different scale altogether. Most of those guys should get a medal, imo. WTF?!

"A higher regional court in western Germany rejected on Monday an appeal by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party against its classification as a "suspected" far-right extremist organization.

The judges at the court in Münster said the designation was appropriate and did not violate the constitution or European law.

but expensive

Probably one of the reasons, other reasons could be ( geo?) complexity and the building (time)'of the whole unfrastructure. I haven't digged very deep in this yet tbh.

geothermal

I would have expected that too. Always seemed a good sustainable additional solution to me.

100%. Its a classic divide & conquer strategy, albeit that the technology has changed over the centuries, and the methodology (hybrid) has become more finetuned. I mean, objectivelly and strategically it's how the world has been working forever: " in war and love there are no rules", it is said.

On the otherhand, how the world has been working forever, is exactly the whole issue. Speaking for European (or worldcitizens) we really hate wars and catastrophic results, so we'd like to move away from the old world, towards a more balanced world with more equal partnership; ideally.

It's impossible to move to that point, when your supposed partners apperantly don't have the same wish ( Ruzz Mir for example, isn't peace). At the end of the day I perceive this as a clash between systems, democracies & authoracies.And, even this comparance may be too simplified. I hope and trust, we can find a proportionate and adequate response to these negative developments and actions.

Also it should be a joint responsibility between all the citizens from the whole world ( if your country is fucking up, try to do something if possible, stay safe ofc). Instead, as it appears now, we have just some head of states deciding everything for billions.

Kinda of like a modernised slogan from yesteryear," citizens over the World Unite; against idiotic head of states! " thing. Wouldn't that be something . Cheesy John Lenon shit. Yet maybe he's right; because here we are in this mess.

Tnx. I would agree that (re)insurance companies should have( the best) numbers.

"Today, the (re)insurance sector operates in a rapidly changing and uncertain world. Elevated levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity are unlikely to relent any time soon. " etc.

We likely are in a century where climatic catastrophs will double in severity every few (10?) years.

For sure it will get worse.

I'm curious, perhaps you (or anyone) have came across some up2date projections (numbers) on this? I've only seen reports about co2/ temperature and potential catastrophs.

They have no water, food, electricity & cellular service, shops. Many roads are inaccessible. Many have been taken to shelters. The rain will continue for 10-20 days. Getting any help there from other states, appears very difficult. They are for now, practically isolated; so I've heard.

As per yesterday evening State TV: 100 deaths, 130 missing and 374 wounded

This is one of those events that will go down in history,” added Leite, who has declared a state of emergency in 397 of his state’s 497 towns and cities.

One of the worst-affected cities is the state capital, Porto Alegre, which sits along the Guaíba river. The waterway hit a record level of 5.33 metres (17.5ft) on Sunday morning – even higher than during historic 1941 floods when it rained for more than 20 days straight.

“Porto Alegre has been devastated, leaving virtually the whole city without its supply of water, electricity and food,” the newspaper O Globo reported on Tuesday, describing “a situation of unprecedented sorrow” in the flooded city of 1.4 million inhabitants.

Okay to put them in the ovens...

Ehhhh. WHAT/Why/ Who? ?

A bit harsh isn't?. Aren't you Mod here?

Add: I'm refering to the effects of Russian Psyops, and how that leads up anger, discontent & division using false narratives and disinformation; in the US and all over the world. It is a conscious action to polarise and create cleavage amongst groups. These tactics are working, and that's a problem.

I see a bit of mass histeria, hive-like drone behaviour, and mass psy-ops all at once. So yes, It makes makes me wonder. maybe ..? idk.. something's up? ^^

"A Russian influence campaign seems to be attempting to sow division in the US around the college campus protests. As protests at universities across the country—and the responses to them by college authorities and law enforcement—continue to stoke division and anger, the Kremlin appears to have taken a page from its foreign influence playbook, using its disinformation infrastructure in collaboration with state-run media and Telegram influencers in an effort to further divide American society."

The EU has been hosting many immigrants for decades, and many have become citizens.

Surprisingly though,it seems that many EU citizens with a migration background, ( for example 1st and 2nd generation etc) in the EU vote against new immigrants. They usually perceive it as a threat against their economic/housing/children's stability & future.

So... communism works?

They are not Communist, it has now become an even more repressive autocratic regime, under the guise of a Communist label. If you want to know about communism read Karl Marx.

I'd add that local charities will know their communities far better than outside organizations.

As a general rule, I'd 100% agree on that. And yes, like you said, there will always be some exceptions.
